When she traded martyrdom for modelling, people-pleasing for pleasing herself, and shame for acceptance. And in Untamed, she makes it clear that we can all do it, too. I loved the chapters on feminism and motherhood most of all, and I very much appreciated the reminder that we've all been given ONE life to live. We owe it to ourselves to honour our deep desires, our inner wisdom, and our intuition to make the most of our short time on this Earth. We'd all have better lives, happier children, and more wonderfully fulfilling experiences on this planet if we followed our untamed Knowing rather than conforming to the expectations of society at every phase of our journey. Content-wise, it is often smug and self-congratulatory. She seems to think she’s discovered that feminism is about men too, and that sports can be good for girls. I want to yell at her to go read some books and learn about what you’re writing about before thinking you’re breaking new ground. And also she is not the first or last woman to divorce a husband so she can marry a woman. The only reason it's noteworthy is that she marketed herself the way she did in her fist two books. If you keep putting yourself forth as an expert, then you’re more likely to be questioned when you don’t follow your own expertise. I know she says in this book that all he beliefs are written in sand and she is always changing and that’s the point, but if so, why are we reading it? And also, that’s a lot of sand writing. Personal essay. Powerful style, full of potential to engage readers as the writer "thinks aloud". Doyle plumbs the depths of the genre she already knows so well (as evidenced in her two previous memoirs). This time around she examines her own evolution and becoming with unrelenting honesty, kindness, and humor (I snort-laughed often!). The sudden turns of a thought-line brought me up short more than once, in the best possible way. Listen to her read her own words if you can. Chapters I re-read immediately after hearing and then again once I'd listened to the entire book: Keys, Island, Racist, Boys. Once upon a time I'd have scoffed at a woman who, at the tender age of 40, discovers that, Oh, I really prefer women. Now that I've hurdled a few of my own surprise preferences and the unknowing of rules and labels that family, religion, and society pressed into my heart and soul from time before clear personal memory, I listened and nodded. Not because I've come to realize that I'm drawn to women, but because I've slowly learned what is not true and what is for me. I listened and nodded, because, Oh, me too. Four and a half stars for craft, originality and vulnerability. Five stars because timing matters. It was my time to hear all of this. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

(People) explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet others?? expectations and start trusting the voice deep within us. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY O: The Oprah Magazine ? The Washington Post ? Cosmopolitan ? Marie Claire ? Bloomberg ? Parade ? ??Untamed will liberate women??emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal.???Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray Love This is how you find yourself. There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn??t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent??even from ourselves. For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. But she soon realized they had come to her from within. This was her own voice??the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world??s expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living. Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member??s ability to bring her full self to the table. And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say: There She Is. Untamed shows us how to be brav Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
